NEARLY THORNLESS! This gorgeous Grandiflora takes first place with her golden-yellow blossoms with copper shading that gently age to cream. Gold Medal®’s large, 4” blooms feature 30-40 petals each grown in clusters. Her large, semi-glossy, dark green foliage stands proudly on nearly thornless stems. Expect Gold Medal® to be at her deepest, pure gold color in cooler temperatures, but she is quite hardy and can handle the heat of warmer climates too!
